Large Fomentek Hot & Cold Water Bag - 18" X 24" by Fomentek

Best to place under the base sheet with client in Supine position. I have used Fomentek for 30 years. I use the Fomentek 5 times a day, 5 days each week. I find after 8 months of using the Fementek the plastic starts to break down and will not allow the water to drain. I wash the Fomentek bag every 2 weeks with Dawn dish soap to extend it's life.

Nice and good

Poor quality. Too thin to hold water

Great hot or cold therapy, strong enough for laying on. I like to use hot water which means mine wear out in about 6 months.

So follow the instructions for sure on not putting water in it that is too hot. Eventually your bags will leak if you continue to put water that is too warm in it and definitely do not put in boiling water. I am a massage therapist so I use these for clients. With all the concern with electrical heat our household uses these as bed warmers and as a therapist I especially like that they mold to your body. Neck, back, etc. Clearly you don’t want to put them under your body as they may rupture. The five gallon bag is quite large so be aware of that. If you laid it on your chest for most people it would go from your clavicle to about the top of your thigh. I recommend these to every single one of my clients and will always be a forever fan. Smaller bags are great for making your own ice packs or use them warm for small area pain. I think the middle of the sizes is the best as the 5 gallon will be too large for most.
